3   08-07-2026                    Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State.

                                2. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with

                   Asthawan P.S. Case No. 100 of 2026, registered for the offenses

                   punishable under Sections 109, 115(2), 126(2), 351(2), 352, and

                   3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) along with Section

                   27 of the Arms Act.

                                3. The allegation is that while the informant was

                   cutting wheat, five persons, including the petitioner, approached

                   the thresher and began abusing and assaulting him. It is further

                   alleged that the petitioner gave the order to fire, which hit the

                   left leg of Satish Kumar, causing him to sustain an injury.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this

                   case due to previous enmity. It is submitted that the allegation of
           Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.36331 of 2026(3) dt.08-07-2026
                                                       2/2




                     firing is against co-accused persons and not against the

                     petitioner. The only allegation against the petitioner is of giving

                     the order to fire. It is further submitted that the injury sustained

                     by the victim is simple in nature, as per the injury report. The

                     petitioner has been in custody since 24-04-2026 and has no

                     criminal antecedent.

                                  5. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for

                     bail.

                                  6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the

                     case, the nature of the allegation against the petitioner, the

                     period of custody, and the clean antecedent, let the petitioner,

                     above named, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.

                     10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount

                     each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate,

                     Nalanda at Biharsharif, in connection with Asthawan P.S. Case

                     No. 100 of 2026, subject to the condition that the petitioner shall

                     cooperate in the trial and remain present on each and every date

                     fixed by the court below. This is made clear if the petitioner fails

                     to appear on two consecutive dates without any reasonable

                     cause, the court below shall be at liberty to cancel his bail

                     bonds.
